For a lot of young Girl Scouts in Louisiana, their tenure in the organization is now at an end after three leaders resigned in protest after Colorado Girl Scouts admitted a young trans girl. The troops are all based at a Christian school in rural Louisiana, and they apparently never read any of the bylaws of the Girl Scouts which is friendly to lesbians and trans girls.
Colorado Girl Scouts admitted Bobby Montoya, a young trans girl, to their ranks. Bobby lives completely as a girl. She dresses as a girl, plays with girl toys?though admittedly noting that she plays with My Little Ponies these days may not quite qualify as playing with girl toys. With the exception of genitalia, Bobby is a girl, but according to one of the former Scouts leader Susan Bryant-Snure, the situation is ?extremely confusing? and ?almost dangerous situation for children.? She stated that ?This goes against what we believe.? Apparently, the entirety of the Girl Scouts is against what she believes.
It means that Bryant-Snure?s three daughters will be denied the joys of being a Girl Scout.
For her part, Bobby has been bullied for being a girl, but has said ?It?s hurting my heart. It hurts me and my mum both.? Being trans is never easy no matter what age one is. Bobby?s mother, Ms Archuleta has confessed that she had trouble with the change, but says ?I believe he was born in the wrong body.?
The three groups are now actively investigating joining the American Heritage Girls, which is a Christian group set up in the 1990?s to protest the Girl Scouts.
The decision by the Colorado Girl Scouts to admit Bobby, who has not yet joined, has been met with some problems. The Daily Mail notes:
Jeff Johnson, a social issues analyst for Public Policy Department of Focus on the Family, a Colorado-based faith group, told the Baptist Press admitting transgenders to Girl Scout groups will lead to growing gender confusion in society.
?It?s part of biblical truth that God made us male and female in his image,? Mr Johnson told the paper.
This is, of course, why God has seen fit to make so many conditions where male or female is blurred. After all, God must have made hermaphrodites, people with Klinefelters, and all those pesky intersexuals?.you know, because God is just like that, huh?
